Yes, you're reading that correctly.
An animal died because it could not pee.
One of my co-workers ran over her cat with her car. The cat, at the time, was apparently in crouch/stalk mode, so it had its organs all smushed around, and the car did not damage it. The cat's insides were fine, no broken bones. But the cat could no longer "do the deed". The cat died after a few days, and death was ruled as an inability to take a leak.
I've heard a lot of things in my life, but this was new.
Poor kitty.
